Sometimes I help to create take-home assessments and provide a feedback. It is not unusual for a candidate to submit something that is copy pasted from some introductory tutorial and / or completely ignoring most of the requirements. In cases like this I do not have much choice but to respond with a generic polite rejection. Honestly, I don't believe company should be responsible for providing any kind of feedback for your assessments - it's not a bootcamp. You are either competent and therefore suitable for the position or you are not, and it was your choice to apply. Moreover, you are not the only one applying and meticulously creating a report about what you have done good or bad, and where you can improve takes a substantial amount of time.

- lesuorac 3y agoDo you encourage candidates to re-apply in the future or do they re-apply on their own? If-so, you're doing yourself a favor by providing feedback so that they might improve by the next time they interview.
